After reading all the reviews here my partner didn’t want to come here. But I put my foot down and said let’s just try it. From the moment we walked in the staff where very polite and on the ball, they took us to a table at the back of the restaurant and yes if you look to the right you see the bottle shop but I looked to my left and it was full of people with ocean views! The waiter come over and said I know I just sat you down it lien like you want to order i said you on the ball I would love a jug of white sangria please. My partner order an Australian beer on tap. I ended up asking for a plain glass of wine to add to the sangria because it was to sweet. But it was still lovely We decided to go with tapas so we order 4 things. First was the sea bugs. Then the grilled octopus, then the muscles and then the garlic prawns. The sea bugs where very subtle in flavour and where cold but supper fresh! Then we had the octopus my partner loved them. He loved the aioli sauce it came with. Then we had the muscle because they where a little less full on then the prawns. The muscles where supper fresh very tomato and garlic flavour. The garlic prawns was full of garlic with a hint of chilli spice I totally loved this one. My partner and I looked at each other and said we are still a bit hungry so then we decided to order the grilled chicken tenderloins and the meat balls. We liked these but we though it wasn’t the wow factor like the other dishes so we decided to order one more dish. We decided on the lamb cutlets but they where out of stock. So My partner decided to order the chorizo and prawn and it was amazing. It reminded me of a boscaiola sauce. But the flavour from the Chorizo gave it the wow facto, I could also taste a little flavour of paprika. It was amazing I highly recommend this place! Don’t let the bad reviews make you change your mind I was blown away

We were welcomed and seated. The waitress was new to restaurant and we encouraged her to pick our cocktail. The cocktail eas ok but too icy. We chose 4 tapas dishes and they were all ok. There wasn’t a wow factor. Overall it was a average meal and experience

Our experience was pretty bad. Very run down place and chairs - especially considering the expensive dishes on the menu. Only a couple of tapas dishes were good (the meat balls and the chorizo) but the paella had a very bland flavor and the rice was too moist and over cooked and a bit sour. The Sangria was tasteless. We asked about how many lamb cutlets in the tapas plate so they said 3. When we got the plate there were only 2 in it. The table next to us got 3 in their plate. When we asked about this instead of apologizing and getting us the extra cutlet they said that the table next to us got smaller cutlets that’s why they got 3. Seriously! They then offered to get us extra cutlets but then ended up charging us extra ! Just speechless about the customer service and the terrible argument - one of the lowest level of customer service we have experienced.

Wow! What a stunning place to visit! My friends and I visited last night and we had the most wonderful time. The service was fast and the waitresses were lovely. When our order was confused with a different dish they quickly brought out what I ordered. No fuss! They suggested some tequila shots and yes they had the lime and salt too. The food was hot, fresh and authentic and the drinks were to die for. If I wasn't moving out of town I would come here regularly! Beautiful views of The Entrance Channel. Come in at 5pm to get that golden hour glow over the water and watch the sun set.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had tapas and sat outside. Generous servings and delicious. Would definitely eat here again. View was lovely while we enjoyed our food. We had the jamon, octopus and prawns with chorizo in creamy sauce. All amazing! A few more guests would add to the atmosphere. Not sure why they don’t have a line up out the door to be honest.

Walking into this restaurant, you get a lovely welcome and a feeling of warmth. Our waitress was amazing! Service with a happy attitude and smile. Monique went above and beyond to get us all we needed. As for the food, a massive thank you to the chef for making a vegetarian dish for my partners daughter. Everything was delicious, especially the mushrooms and the chorizo and prawn dish. I literally ate till I could eat no more! Yummy cocktails, too! Will definitely be back. Thank you, Mi Cantina All 5 of us walked out very satisfied 😌

Great balance between authentic tapas and local cuisine. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. We had a delicious seafood paella. There was plenty of meat and seafood in the paella with a crispy crust at the base. We also enjoyed a fruity sangria. We were there catching up with some old friends that we had not seen in a while and the restaurant hosts were so gracious and welcoming even when we were the last ones to leave. We will definitely come back soon. I highly recommend a visit.
